As there is 5 more girls than boys and b is the number of boys, the expression b + 5 represents the number of girls. 
total there are 27 childrens
b + (b+5) = 27
b + b + 5 = 27
2b = 27 -5 
b =22 / 2
b =11
so the number of boys there are 11 and girls are 11 + 5 = 16 
and total is 16 + 11 = 27

Solving simultaneous equations by algebraic methods <br> 3a+4x=29<br> 2a-3x=-9
kogti [31]
<span>3a+4x=29 (1st)
2a-3x=-9 (2nd)

multiply (1st) by 3 and (2nd) by 4

</span>9a + 12x = 87 (1st)
8a - 12x = -36 (2nd)
---------------------add
17a = 51
   a = 3

<span>2a-3x=-9
</span><span>2(3)-3x=-9
6 - 3x = -9
-3x = -15
   x = 5

answer
x = 5 and a = 3</span>

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

(1.1 , 0.6)

Step-by-step explanation:

midpoint (x , y): ( x+x') /2 , (y+y') / 2

x = (-3.5 + 5.7) / 2 = 2.2 / 2 = 1.1

y = (-2.1 + 3.3) / 2 = 1.2 / 2 = 0.6
